I'd try to make the education, society, and culture in such a way to try and make almost everybody gay or bisexual to see how much nurture affects sexuality
Talks about a society that may or may not have encouraged sexual assault
Idea inspired by the Romans being super gay but I'm not sure if that was because of culture or just rapeI honestly think that straight people don't actually exist because no-one is 100% straight. Like no straight man is attracted to every single person with boobs and a vagina and no straight woman is attracted to every single person with a dick. Clearly people have preferences for genders but gender is also not real. In a world where everyone expressed their gender freely and faced no backlash, I can't imagine anyone only being attracted to cis people of the opposite gender
So do gay people not exist also? The problem with the "everyone is bi" narrative is that while designed to invalidate straight people's sexuality (fair enough, heteronormativity is bad), it also does the same for gay and lesbian people. Lesbians are not going to "find the right man" but that's exactly what that idea would imply if it was valid.
Yes, having discrete categories of sexual orientation is a simplfying concept because biology is a big ol' mess.
If you don't have a concept of gender determined by callipers and genitals, having a specific homosexuality category doesn't make sense because you don't have binary gender categories.
You would still have people who were attracted to people with the same genitals or gender identity or expression as themselves.
